Tonight, the Singularity Movement achieved a major victory in their mission to rid the Maia system of Federal control.

Two days ago, the fighting raged on between the Ant Hill Mob and the Pleiades Resources Enterprise as they tried to desperately hold onto their last remaining base of power in the system. Only the outpost, Maia Point, located on Maia A 2 b planet, was still under their control and they did not intend to let it slip through their fingers as easily. The feds therefore concentrated all the forces present in the system to defend this outpost.

That’s when the general coordinator launched a call to arms: “A win today, means no Federal Base in Maia tomorrow!”

The Deus Ex Machina Initiative received the call as well. Although occupied around Shinrarta Dezhra, pilots participating in the Initiative’s “Operation: Burn Elites” were dispatched in support of the troops engaged by Singularity Movement in this decisive battle.

Fierce fighting raged the whole day and night, making many Federal casualties. However the feds finally gave up the game in the end.

Today, there is no longer any base under control of the Federation in Maia!

Who would have bet a few weeks ago that such a thing was possible?

A superpower was forced to bend it’s knees in front of a group of independent pilots who aren’t, for the most part, seasoned fighters.

Previously on July 20, Federal President Zachary Hudson promised (mostly to those who wanted to believe it) that the Federation was going to protect humanity from the “threat of an aggressive non-human species“. However, it has now been proven that they don’t have the ability to keep control of the smallest stones floating in a near system suburb of the Core Worlds.

There is no doubt that it will be even more so when Congress will hold the President accountable for the use of force he has made in the recent weeks of increasing the Federation’s military expenditure. This will please opposition leader Felicia Winters, as well as former President Jasmina Halsey’s supporters in Congress.

Our dear Pravnet adored isn’t very chatty lately. The little it agreed to tell us about our small inhabited areas concerned mainly the political and economic state of the factions. That is very little.

And yet, there is so much to say.

Since the Club’s omni media doesn’t deign to do its job correctly, it is us, simple pilots, who will do it in its place.

So, the latest news :

A wave of outbreak (pandemia?).

A first reaction from Sirius Corporation’s forces to the victorious assault on Takurua by Operation Sirius Business.

A new operation joins Deus Ex Machina Initiative.

Tension rising one more step between Empire and Federation.

A community operation proposed by an “independent” faction in the Pleiades (it seems that everyone wants to be there at the moment, to believe that this sector will soon become the holiday resort of all the VIPs of the Galaxy in the next weeks ).

A wave of outbreak

According to our colleague The Galactic Bugle, an epidemic of unprecedented epidemic and famine is currently taking place in the Core’s Worlds. And globalization compels, it also affects Colonia.

He reports about 80 systems affected at the time of the discovery a week ago, and this number has dropped by half during the past week, down to about 40 systems. The phenomenon seems to have been sudden.

The outbreaks doesn’t seem to become a pandemia.

It is astonishing to see that in these days, and regarding the enormous resources our superpowers have, such outbreaks can still take on such a magnitude.

And while we see military spending growing day after day, famine is rampant in many systems. If this continues, we’ll can even speak of a humanitarian catastrophe!

They build cruisers, outposts and infrastructures in the Pleiades or California Nebula, secretly launch the Dynasty project, an highly expensive project, which is supposed to save us in case of Thargoids invasion, and during that time we are starving!

We weren’t consulted when these decisions were made, but it is on our backs that they are build.

After that, we’ll be found some people again to say that all this is for our better good. Fortunately, there is still some common sense in this Galaxy.

Considering things from the strict strategic point of view, it seems that Sirius Corporation also hopes to disperse the troops of Operation Sirius Business in order to slow down its progression to Avik. To say it right away, it will not be easy for the mega-corp, even it have more assets than Operation Sirius Business. Its influence in Avik hit the ground, literally.

Operation Burn Elites join Deus Ex Machina Initiative.

On the Pleiades side, things don’t look very good for Singularity Movement. Their support for The Ant Hill Mob seems to be bogged down and Pleiades Resources Enterprise regained ground later this week. This doesn’t seem to stop pilots engaged in the fight since the trend observed today is going down. You can join the coordination platform of Singurarity Mouvement by clicking here.

The battleground has also been on the side of the Federation of Pilots since Operation Burn Elites was launched last weekend.

It will not be easy, here either, to do our job properly, but we’ll do our best.

Tension rising one more step between Empire and Federation.

One of our readers had the good idea of informing us of quite disturbing facts within the Empire. The federal troops seem to have led a rather effective coordinated attack aimed at the blockade of many imperial systems.

We were told the fact in the Cubeo system in particular. And this seems to be confirmed in other systems.

A call to arms has been launched recently to ask the federal pilots to lend a hand to the federal troops engaged in this struggle.

We don’t know much more yet, but we will keep you informed as soon as we know more.

The Operation Burn Elites, this is its name, was released yesterday evening discreetly and immediately joined the Initiative.

Its objective is nothing less than besieging the Federation of the Pilots at Shinrarta Dezhra.

The number of claims to be met for ending the seat include the cancellation of a few permit-locking in the following sector: Col 70, Barnard ‘Loop, Regor, and the permit-lock that block the access of HIP 24460, the end of the house arrest of Pr Palin by the feds, – taking into account the demand of the Singularity Movement, also part of the Initiative -, the withdrawal of the federal and imperial troops, – this last point is new -, in the whole Pleiades Sector, including Maia, and the end of any interference from Superpowers in Pleiades Sector.

The newsroom tried to find out more by contacting the Cmdr who had posted the public announcement of the operation to tell us more but he didn’t even respond while we write these lines.

The Pilots Federation besieged in Shinrarta Dezhra, nothing but that!

You have to be damned reckless, or you can be really self-assured, to get involved in such an operation.

However, it must be said that they chose the right moment.

Indeed, since the 4th of July, the social and political situation in the Shinrarta system wasn’t very good for the Pilots Federation. Many protest movements broke out and spread like wildfire in all places where the faction is present in the system.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, The Dark Wheel, until then rather calm and discreet, has redoubled efforts to develop its commercial network. And it did well because today, the latter is in an economic boom.

The misfortune of some is the happiness of others.

The Dark Wheel.

They’re usually arousing as much fascination, fear and admiration. To be still there after several centuries of turmoil is enough to create this kind of feeling, actually.

So clever, the one who can says what all this will lead to, but one thing is sure, it surely will not help the shenanigans of our dear puppetmaster.

Or not, who knows.

As always, The Onionhead disclaims any responsibility for possible maltreatment of words and verbs during the writing of this article.

Since the technology of our FSD drives has improved, exploration of deep space has been greatly changed. The time of the pioneers is over. The Galaxy has narrowed and previously difficult points of access are now within the reach of the majority, with a long-term effort and some risk-taking.

Our dear leaders stay warm in the promiscuity offered by this small inhabited bubble so-called the Core Worlds. It seems to suit them, even if it’s true that they feel cramped out there, just see their policies explicitly expansionist. They have the nose in the handlebars of their scams, their manipulations, and some even hate flying in space. They therefore imagine that what they experience is great, beautiful, and the power they exercise or think they exert on our lives gives them the jubilation that one can feel during the loss of lucidity that usually accompanies psychotic access . One cannot blame them, the exercise of power demands to muffle the cries of conscience and the empathy that characterizes our species. This has always been the case, and this is even more true today, while human history has never known such extensive dominions.

The puppets that are our leaders have always expressed their contempt for the community of independent explorers, and for good reason, it reminds them of how far back they lack of objectivity and the height of the vacuity of their ambitions.

That is why we are going to give the floor to this community today, and in particular to an expedition en cours: the Summer Great Expedition, launched to join Beagle Point in the footsteps of the pioneers of the Distant Worlds expedition.

Its organizer, Cmdr Kazahnn Drahnn, kindly answered our questions.

The Onionhead / Piaf: Hello Cmdr Kazahnn Drahnn. Can you introduce yourself in a few words to our readers?

Kazahnn Drahnn: Hello to all, so I introduce myself, I am the Cmdr Kazahnn Drahnn of the LOSP. I am in charge of an Anaconda, the “Venator”, which I optimized thanks to the engineers in grade 5 for exploration.

My crew is composed of thirty mainly military personnel, even if the ship is not armed, with a scientific team to study any finds.

I recently joined the Magellan division of the LOSP, which allowed me to form the Summer Great Expedition.

TOP: How did you come up with such a long expedition? I remind you that the Summer Great Expedition is an expedition to Beagle Point. It’s not the next door.

Kazahnn Drahnn: One evening in March 3303 I was in the Pleiades sector with Cmdrs Yuksarr and Kalhaan and we were looking for Cmdr Salomé. After several hours of research in the systems by crossing our data and by informing the various ships of the other factions in search of her, we decided to stop the investigations.

Cmdr Kalhaan returned to Jitabos, and then Yuksarr and I went down a little further down towards 46 Eridani. We were able to discuss our future projects and one of them was common to us. The one to reach Beagle Point.

That’s how the idea of bringing together a small group of explorers to reach Beagle Point came up to me.

TOP: How many pilots participate? Are they all seasoned explorers?

Kazahnn Drahnn: At present, the Summer Great Expedition has 79 commanders, 46 of whom are fleet A and 33 are fleet B.

Some are seasoned explorers, others are novices. But from now on, as we reached Beagle Point and are en route for our return, I think we can all be qualified as seasoned explorers, if I may. However, everyone, no matter their level at the start of the expedition, learned a lot during the trip. We all stuck together in the tough times, like the day we lost our first SRV in a terrible accident at the first Waypoint in the Eta Carina Nebula. Moreover, for the small anecdote the place of the accident was referenced in the “Galactic Mapping Project” under the name of “Hathor’s Prophecy”, a mixture of the names of the two commanders involved in the catastrophy.

TOP: A french-speaking expedition, but I understand that english and german-speaking were also part of the game?

Kazahnn Drahnn: At first, the expedition was intended to be exclusively french-speaking, or even reserved exclusively for members of the LOSP. However, after reflection, I decided to open this one to all the members of the french-speaking community in order to make the most of this experience to many on the other side of the galaxy.

Then, by publishing our expedition on the main holonet forum, several english-speaking commanders decided to take part in the tour, and it was with great pleasure that we welcomed them.

Finally, since Cmdr Melbus was bilingual (french and german-speaking), he told the german community that we were going to Beagle Point and that is how we also counted among the germans.

TOP : This diversity of communities around the ancient languages of our good old Earth seems to be totally ignored by our dear leaders, indeed. You mentioned a disaster, have you had any losses during the trip?

Kazahnn Drahnn: Overall, the whole expedition went well.

But as I mentioned above, our first loss was to be deplored at the first waypoint in the Eta Carina nebula. An accident involving an SRV and an ASP Explorer.

Then we lost the Cmdr Snake (german-speaking) at the waypoint in the Rendezvous Point system, he didn’t negotiated well its descent on the planet and was destroyed instantly.

Then, Cmdr Mist0 crashed during a bad maneuver by looking for geysers or other POIs on a mysterious planet identified in the Galactic Mapping Project under the name of “Heavenly Mists” because it is very dense in mist and possessing a special relief steep, and therefore very dangerous.

The Cmdr Astrix Swayer also lost its Diamondback Explorer due to technical incidents at rehearsals of a massjump.

It is for Fleet A the three losses which we have had to deplore.

For Fleet B, there were also a few casualties. Cmdr Penpenbf was destroyed by a pirate mod when he arrived at Sagittarius A *, unthinkable as far from the bubble but yet it is a reality. He had technical concerns that caused his loss.

TOP: This kind of expedition is anything but a health walk, as all too often let the officials of various shores hear. With regard to the two convoys, why split the expedition into two convoys?

Kazahnn Drahnn: Splitting the expedition into two parts came from a need of some of us, who come from the Wing Atlantis, to make another trip. Their goal was not to reach Beagle Point unlike us, but we still decided to fly under the same banner at least for the first two waypoints. We segregated the fleet in Hawking’s Gap. Their objective was to carry out a reconnaissance survey of the abandoned bases that can be found in the Hawking’s Gap and the Conflux, while passing by Sagittarius A * and Colonia. This for personal purposes.

TOP: You told me, off, that the SGE was close involved in the Galactic Mapping Project? This is a project that we know very well , some of us, amoung our newsroom, have been actively involved. Can you talk to us about that?

Kazahnn Drahnn: The expedition is of course a partner of the Galactic Mapping Project. In short, the LOSP has been the ally of the Children of Raxxla for a long time and we have always worked hand in hand regardless of geopolitical contexts. It was obvious to me that we were moving closer to Erimus Kamzel and the Galactic Mapping Project for such an ambitious project.

The idea is to list all the peculiarities that our galaxy can contain in order to improve the navigation map of all the pilots in their future voyages within the Milky Way.

Currently, the expedition has proposed several POIs and three have been retained to enrich the galactic map:

TOP: Now that you have a communication platform dedicated to french-speaking explorers, you have solid foundations for future projects. Do you already have such projects?

Kazahnn Drahnn: Since the Summer Expedition was a great success, we have already started to think about other expeditions / explorations more or less long. But I can not tell you more because they are “work in progress” status.

TOP: Thank you so much for spending some of your time, and good flight to all the expedition.

Kazahnn Drahnn: I also thank you and good news for your newspaper, which is very much appreciated by my crew and by the crews of the other ships as well.

Sirius Corporation security forces in the system were harassed for 11 days. The fighting was hard, but eventually Sirius Corporation’s influence was at its lowest, giving the Takurua Legion faction the opportunity to claim control of the system.

The spokesman for Operation Sirius Business said:
“We’re very happy with the results of this first offensive. The two-pronged approach of attacking Sirius Corp along with supplying tailored support to their rivals, allowed for a change of power with a minimum of loss in lives and infrastructure.”

Operation Sirius Business is now changing its target and its forces are now moving towards the Avik system.

You will not be surprised if we tell you that Sirius Corporation has not yet bothered to speak on the subject.

At the same time, the influence of Pleiades Resources Enterprise also seems to be falling in some of the systems that the organization has under its control. It is impossible to say for the moment whether this is the result of a coordinated attack or just the fruit of the usual game of influential movements. We will keep you informed as soon as we have more details.

Professor Palin has just spoken about the many Thargoids sites discovered around Merope by the Canonn Interstellar Research Group.

The Canonn even announced today to have discovered what seems to be the last of them, to HIP 22460, by the voice of Cmdr Olivia Vespera, closely involved in this research .

Canonn determined that it was possible to use the scan result of the Unknown Device in the central room of each site. From this scan results an audio recording which, when played from the space in the direction of an Unknown Link, activates it which then returns a characteristic sound which, once decoded, indicates the coordinates of the following site. Once there, simply repeat the operation and the Unknown Link will point a green light beam towards the next site. This is the procedure that was used to uncover the 207 sites discovered so far. But when the last Unknown Link was activated, it pointed to the HIP 22460 system which is inaccessible to date, as it is permit locked.

Here we see a characteristic will of those who manipulate us in the shadow: letting us discover what they want us to discover while preventing us from knowing too much.

This is too much !

They hinder the progress that we could make in the knowledge of our visitors from outerspace, a knowledge that could be crucial to our survival, whether friendly or hostile they are.

But let us return to the latest statements of Professor Palin at Pravnet.

We would like to remind you that Pr Palin is currently under house arrest by the feds and is therefore not free of his movements. We can therefore assume that he will not have been able to visit the site to take a closer look.

He is still an expert on the subject. And all he has been allowed to say to us is summed up in the following:

“This revelation is significant not only because it gives us insight into Thargoid technology, but because it confirms the long connection between Thargoids, Unknown Artifacts and Unknown Probes.” Unfortunately, we still do not know what Recognition, Surveillance, Mapping, etc. The details are beyond our control, even after these recent discoveries. ” (Source: Pravnet)

Impossible to say, as it is, whether the Pr was authorized by the Federation to go to these sites to study them.

Otherwise, and despite the extent of his knowledge of the matter, which far exceeds those of all the teams in Canonna combined, we can assume that he will have been reduced to speculate on how little he has been able to draw from the same sources we can access.

What would we not have learned from him if he had been there?

Once again, it is the progress of free science and knowledge that is hampered.

I have been able to read from here, that some people find very well that the fate of the entire Galaxy is in the hands of this self-claimed elite group and that it is better to let them act because they certainly do for our better good.

Let’s be honest. There is no reason to think that this very powerful manipulative group is acting in our interest, at least as long as we know nothing of their agenda.

It is more important today than in any other period of our history that science can be exercised in complete freedom, and that knowledge circulates without hindrance.

The editorial team is not alone in advocating this.

On July 3rd, Cmdr DJ Truthsayer, head of the Sovereignty faction, launched a raid on the entire dominion of Sirius Corporation.

The purpose of Operation Sirius Business is to obtain from the puppetmaster that he raise the permits that impede free movement in the inhabited worlds around Sol and that he ceases to implement his plan secretly And beyond all democratic control. DJ Truthsayer said the operation would last as long as he did not get satisfaction. [Edit: Things are moving fast. The operation now also demands the immediate termination of the permit which locked access to HIP 22460. This is the latest Alien site discovered by Canonn].

This is a platform for coordinating ongoing operations. The Singularity Movement, which asks the feds to let Professor Palin do his work, has already joined Deus Ex Machina Initiative and from what we know, others will soon grow their ranks. The spokesman for the initiative said: “We will provide all the logistical and human assistance needed for all operations that will join the initiative. And if we have enough resources available, we will support all operations that will asking for help. This will be a long and asymmetrical struggle, and we must cooperate as much as possible, pooling all the resources we can commit in our various operations if we are to succeed in our demands. The most powerful forces in our society are in front of us.”
